Backdraft

Lt. Steven McCaffrey: You go. We go.

Lt. Steven McCaffrey: Look at him...That's my brother god damnit.

Firefighter Brian McCaffrey: You see that flash of light in the corner of your eye? That's your career dissipation light. It just went into high gear.

[In high rise elevator]
Tim Kizminski: How are we supposed to know if the floor is on fire in one of these?
Lt. Steven McCaffrey: When the doors open, if it's hot, don't get out.

Ronald: I sent away for the copy of Life magazine. The one with your picture on the front. It's a collectible.
Firefighter Brian McCaffrey: Do you know who's doing this?
Ronald: Yes.
Firefighter Brian McCaffrey: Then tell me.
Ronald: You want to know who? I want to know if this kid really wanted to be just like his dad.
Firefighter Brian McCaffrey: I wanted to be him. I wanted to be him more than anything else in the world.
Ronald: And you loved him?
Firefighter Brian McCaffrey: Yeah.
Ronald: And you watched him dance with the animal. You saw your dad burn.
Firefighter Brian McCaffrey: Fuck you Ronald. Who's doing this, huh?
Ronald: Did it look at you? Did the fire look at you? It did. Whoa! Wow! Our worlds aren't that far apart after all, are they? So, whoever is doing this knows that animal well, don't they? They know him real well, but they won't let him loose. They won't let him have any fun. Now who doesn't love fire? See...that wasn't such a long trip after all.

Donald 'Shadow' Rimgale: What about the world, Ronald? What would you like to do to the whole world?
Ronald Bartel: Burn it all.
[Laughs.]

Ronald Bartel: The funny thing about firemen is... Night and day they are always firemen.

John 'Axe' Adcox: Gentlemen, gentlemen, gentlemen. As 17's official toastmaster... (Rimirez (I), Juan@Ray Santos): ...and bullshitter.
John 'Axe' Adcox: Thank you, Santos! Did I happen to mention you're cut out of my will?
[Continuing]
John 'Axe' Adcox: I think it appropriate that we recognize the two asswipes... Probationary Firemen... among us today who were officially baptized into the world of Old Man Fire. First, to Tim. Despite the fact that he has a rather dull expression, and a really hideous pair of ears; he not only took on the beast but pulled from its clutches, assisted by a more famous and brilliant firefighter, me, a kicking and screaming civilian who will probably wind up suing us for breaking her fingernails. And to Brian...
[pulls up mannequin]
John 'Axe' Adcox: ... whose own contribution was not only more beautiful but less likely to sue. You know, when I learned that both McCaffrey brothers would be assigned at the same station together at the same time, my heart was filled with... a sudden desire to transfer! So raise a glass, gents. To funny-looking Tim, and the McCaffrey brothers, who have gotten on each other's nerves so badly and dedicated themselves to still be pissed off at each other. Gentlemen...

[Rimgale and Brian McCaffrey in the morgue with the medical examiner.]
Donald 'Shadow' Rimgale: McCaffrey, come on over and give us a hand.
Firefighter Brian McCaffrey: No, I don't think so. Not in my contract.
Donald 'Shadow' Rimgale: [Throwing medical gloves at him] I just rewrote your contract! Come give us a hand.

Jennifer Vaitkus: We believe you're holding back on us, to embarass the Alderman because of his fire department cutbacks.
Donald 'Shadow' Rimgale: Alderman, I have an uncomplicated job: To determine if a fire is arson or not, and if it is, to catch the son of a bitch doing it. And if my investigative methods happen to muck up the campaign of certain mayor wannabes, I gotta tell ya... I'm not gonna go losing any sleep over it.

Firefighter Brian McCaffrey: How do you do it, man? How do you come up with new and amazing ways to fuck up?
